title: [Functional evaluation of the shoulder after surgical and nonsurgical treatment of grade III acromio-clavicular dislocation].
abstract: This paper compares results of operative (26 patients) and nonoperative (19 patients) treatment for grade III (Tossy) acromioclavicular dislocation. Mean follow-up was 7.4 years and 3.3 years in operated and nonoperated group respectively. Bargren classification and modified Constant score served to assess the results. In the operated group 92.3% results were rated excellent or good and 7.7% fair while in nonoperated one 89.5% and 10.5%. Statistical analysis revealed no significant differences between the groups. Patients from nonsurgical group returned to work much faster. Indications for surgery should be more cautious and based on Rockwood classification of acromioclavicular dislocation.
